What we do
Working across multidisciplinary fields and settings we seek to:
See and highlight the health impacts of domestic abuse/violence on women and children;
Hear the voices of women and children impacted;
Empower women, children, policy-makers and professionals who work with them;
Respond to those impacted by domestic abuse/violence in a trauma-informed way;
Act accordingly to prevent abuse/violence and develop research and training led by and for these groups.
Our work has featured in: BBC iplayer, BBC News, BBC Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 5 live, The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, Times Radio, at the United Nations Human Rights Council and associated reports by the UN Special Rapporteur for Violence Against Women and Girls and beyond.
Leading scholarship and research into the health impacts of domestic abuse / violence perpetrator behaviours
We establish and supervise working groups, developing research exploring the impact of domestic abuse / violence perpetrator behaviours, on the health of women and children. We draw knowledge and foster methodologies from a range of disciplines, to deepen understanding about prevention strategies by thinking across boundaries.
Domestic abuse / violence and the family courts
We work as a unique collaboration between law, health, economics, human rights and domestic abuse support services to develop innovative cross-cutting research into the health impacts of legal / family court proceedings for mothers and children. We investigate this using a broad lens exploring individual and structural inequalities.
Leading scholarship and research into the health impacts of domestic abuse for minoritised women
We establish and supervise working groups focused on developing specific resources for minority and marginalised groups such as migrant women, ethnic minorities, disabled women and other minoritised women.
Providing training and resources for policy-makers and professionals
We foster the transfer of knowledge between academia, health and social care and domestic abuse support services to provide the most current training and resources to policy-makers and professionals across multiple settings.
About Us
